Find Some Joy Today

"I hope you find some joy in your Friday" was how a friend ended an email to me last night. I like that. I hope to find some joy today. I hope to find joy every day.
I can't remember who came up with the idea of a joy list but I remember reading about it years ago. It's just a quick list of the things that make you smile at the moment. So here's my joy list for today:
The companionable silence of lying next to my husband of 26 years as I do my morning stretch
The dog curled up at my feet

Cool breeze in morning's light
A juicy peach, fresh from the orchard
Memories of Girl Scout day camp
Planned escape from cube farm: Walking in the woods at lunch time
The sound of the ocean
Chats on the phone with my sister
Laughing with my friends
My playlist
This is the day that The Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. - Psalm 118:24
Here is a post about joy lists. What's on your joy list? Send me a comment with a few items from your list or email me . I'd love to share your joy.

Recent Trip to Rehoboth

A few weeks ago I was blessed to spend a wonderful long weekend with my sister and my friends in Rehoboth Beach Delaware. We had a grand time and returned home with memories, stories, a few extra pounds, souvenirs, and of course pictures. Click on the video to view.

Nothing OT

I belong to some online groups that are designed to share special interests like reading, cooking, travel, etc. Often replies to a post will get off on a tangent and before you know it, the subject is changed to begin with "OT" for "off topic". In some groups members or moderators will try to abolish off topic posts in order to keep down volume and to keep the posts related to the subject of the mail group. But it's comforting to know that nothing is OT with God. We can go to Him in prayer and pour out our hearts. We can approach Him about anything and everything in our lives and He listens. We don't have to have a religious formula for prayer. If we read something from a prayer book that's okay too if it expresses our hearts. But if the prayer is "HELP" or "God, I can't go on" or even if we lash out in fear or anger, it's okay. It doesn't change the way He feels about us. He loves us unconditionally. He is looking for us ...
